Way to compound your transgressions! In a recent letter to the editor, a reader reasonably called out the paper for excessive, slanted coverage favoring Graham Platner and a lack of attention to other Senate candidates like Gov. Janet Mills. And, the editors undermine the message by running the letter under a large photo of (only) […]

Paper needs to probe Maine’s welfare fraud | Letter
The recent exposure of the corruption in Minnesota by immigrants from Somalia has shown how a feckless media, in league with corrupt politicians, can result in the bilking of billions of taxpayer dollars. In Maine, a similar situation exists. It is important to our country for the media to shed their political bias and exert […]

The danger of the ‘Donroe Doctrine’ | Letter
I don’t think we should so much be focusing on how evil Nicolás Maduro is/was as much as we should be looking at the precedent President Trump’s action in Venezuela sets. Given the administration’s reasoning, what is now to stop China from invading Taiwan? Taiwan is a heck of a lot closer to China than […]

We must stand up to American tyranny | Letter
In 1776, taxation without representation was called tyranny. In 20th century Germany, the detention, incarceration and murder of Jews was called tyranny. In 21st century America, tyranny is the kidnapping of immigrants off the streets by armed unidentified masked agents and their incarceration in ICE prisons. This is done without the due process of law, […]

Seeking a Waterville bakery’s new location | Letter
Several years ago there was a small bakery in Waterville, I believe on Union Street. The gentleman made fine breads, but the shop was closed as the building was to be destroyed, and recently was. The baker left a sign on the closed building indicating he would seek an alternative location. Would anyone know if […]

The Nobel Peace Prize recognizes something Trump does not have | Letter
As a Norwegian American, I felt compelled to write to the Nobel Peace Prize committee last year after President Trump begged for the prize because of all the wars he said he had ended. He didn’t know that the Norwegian public detests begging and boasting because of a principal called janteloven, which our ancestors unwittingly […]

How can Trump break bread with Netanyahu? | Letter
Israel has found another way to murder Palestinian babies. So far they’ve shot, blown apart, burned and starved them. But with the onslaught of winter, they are now blocking aid organizations that are carrying blankets and warm clothing, and many infants have frozen to death. Altogether something like 40,000 infants have been deliberately killed by […]
